Kind: Star system. Location: Reachable by pre-Ribbondash voidship (i.e. within sublight range on generation-ship timescales). Controlled by: Sovereign Republic of Sky Eternity from 295 A.L. onward.

Summary

The first star system successfully reached by an artificially crewed Voidship. The Hand That Draws Itself arrives in 292 A.L. Three years later, in 295 A.L., its artificial crew unexpectedly declares independence and founds the Sovereign Republic of Sky Eternity (天恆) at LDH39 — making this the first human-origin polity governed entirely by Mechanical Intelligence.
